Quick answer
To install the Savotta High Cut Helmet Cover V1, stretch the 500D Cordura cover over your high cut helmet shell, align the cutouts with the helmet's rails and shroud, then use the integrated attachment cordage to secure natural or artificial camouflage.
Why the right fit matters
The High Cut Helmet Cover V1 is designed around the common Ops Core FAST XP high cut helmet shell geometry but fits many other high cut helmets too. A snug fit prevents the cover from shifting during movement, which is critical when you have added camouflage that could snag or reveal your position.
Because the cover uses 500D Cordura, it is durable but has minimal stretch. If your helmet has a noticeably different shape (e.g., older or non-standard high cut shells), the cover may not sit as tightly. In that case, the attachment cordage becomes even more important for securing the cover.
Installation steps
- 1. Prepare your helmet: Remove any existing accessories (e.g., NVG mount, shroud cover, rail attachments) from your helmet so the cover can sit flat against the shell. Leaving accessories on can create bumps that prevent the cover from fitting snugly.
- 2. Position the cover: Hold the cover so the cutout for the helmet shroud is at the front. Stretch the cover over the crown of the helmet, working it down evenly on both sides. Align the side cutouts with your helmet's rail system. Pulling too hard on one side may misalign the cutouts; work slowly and symmetrically.
- 3. Secure with cordage: The cover has attachment cordage all over the surface. Use the loops to weave in natural foliage (e.g., branches, leaves) or artificial camo material. Start at the front and work your way back, securing each piece tightly. Loose cordage can snag on gear or vegetation; trim any excess after tying.
- 4. Check fit and adjust: Once camouflage is attached, reattach your helmet accessories (NVG mount, rails, etc.) over the cover. Ensure the cover does not interfere with the shroud or side rails. Adjust camouflage to avoid blocking vents or rail slots. If the cover shifts during accessory reattachment, the camouflage may be too heavy or unevenly distributed.
